Books
For books
at UMass, use the Library Catalog
searches at http://www.library.umass.edu/cgi-bin/aka/babel.cgi?dokma=http://umlibr.library.umass.edu/
. Best to be as specific as possible in your searching. Start with a subject
search (use keyword if subject yields no results). You can use broad categories
to browse for sub-topics or to later limit (by date, words in subject
or words in title) for more focussed results.
The Library
subject heading for Latinos is "Hispanic
Americans."
Sample searches:
If UMass
doesn't have the book(s) you need, try the other Five Colleges, by clicking
on the Search Four College link.
Use Net
Library - for online books
TIP:
Use WorldCat
and Other
Library Catalogs when
UMass and Five College system are not sufficient.
Journals
(For browsing hot topics and seeing models of research writing in
action. Many, but not all, are available online.)
Databases
(Journal indexing and online journals. Once you have a topic, this
is where you search for articles on that topic.)
|
Tips:
- Use the
Database
Searching Log to keep track of your searches and search
strategies.
- Use RefWorks
to manage your citations and create your bibliography.
- After you've
run a search, use the
 button
(if the database has it) to retrieve articles or to be taken
directly to Interlibrary Loan, so you can order the article
if UMass does not have it.
